My New DIY Thread Rack
I’ve been wanting a thread rack – you know the thingamajig I’m talking about right? It’s a rack that holds all your sewing thread and not only are you able to readily see what colors you have on hand, you actually have a storage area for all your thread. I wasn’t really sure how to make one but thanks to Sugar Bee and her Thread Rack Tutorial I was able to see that it is quite possible to make your own. So, using some of that pink pegboard my brother-in-law gave us, I had my son… cut it to the exact dimensions for the area in which it would hang…

The Week in Review 5/30/10
The week started with a BBQ on Sunday, May 30, with about 40 of us. We had the typical Memorial Day fare with hamburgers and hot dogs… and of course, ice cream. That’s almost a given when you come to our house. 🙂 Not much happened that was picture-worthy during the week until Friday when we went to my sister in law’s for supper. I always feel as if I’m at a resort when I go to their place. Saturday, we went to a lovely tea party with its theme being international. Serenity was dressed Chinese, I was from Mexico and Audrey was Heidi/peasant girl. East Indian & French We…

Sewing Unit Study – Day 1
Lately I’ve been challenged to help my daughter enjoy the schooling process more. Like all of us have found out each child is different with their own unique personality and learning style. My daughter has seemed bored with school with no real interest in history or science. Neither has she discovered a love for reading (exception to that is the Trailblazer books by Dave & Neta Jackson). I have been at a loss as to how I can get her excited about school. Then I thought of Dr. Raymond Moore, a man of much common sense and understanding of children and how they learn. What would he suggest? From reading all of his…

The Week in Review 5/23/10
Before I start my week in review, I want to give honor to those who fought and gave their lives in service to our country – a very great price to pay. May we never forget them. Monday was the day we said goodbye to Zachary’s cello teacher he’s had for the last year. She’s moving and will be pursuing her doctorate in cello. She was a good teacher for Zachary. As we’ve had different teachers over the years, I can say that you definitely need to find a teacher that’s a good fit for your child. We had our end of year awards at 4-H. This is Zachary’s last year to be…
